Abstract
The work is aimed at substantiating the applicability of H.-G. Gadamer’s hermeneutical ideas to the philosophical and methodological analysis of geological knowledge. Arguments are given in favor of the fact that cognitive practices in geology are more closely related to the hermeneutic cognitive procedures of human history than to the cognitive procedures of experimental physics, focused on the search and formulation of general laws. At the same time, Gadamer’s hermeneutical ideas are adapted to the context of geological knowledge.
